Transversal Palatal Expansion Using a Palatal Distractor
Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthop�die, 2003The method and first results of transversal expansion with a palatal distractor in adolescents and adults with transverse maxillary deficiencies are presented. In ten patients with a mean age of 25.8 years, a newly developed distractor was applied for bone-borne expansion of the two halves of the maxilla following osteotomy of the lateral walls of the ...

Adult palatal expansion prostheses
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1981The technical steps in the construction of two types of adult palatal expanders have been described. These prostheses are complex and require a special level of coordination between the professional team and the dental laboratory. The teamwork involved in the restoration of major maxillary defects contributes to the success of the prosthesis and makes ...

A simplified palatal expansion prosthesis
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1986A palatal expansion prosthesis made of cast silver can be easily fabricated at any facility that has the ability to cast type III gold. The ductility and malleability of pure silver allow for ease of adaptation or alteration as a chairside or operating room procedure.

Treatment of palatal fistula by expansion
British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1990Treatment of a large anterior fistula of the hard palate remains a problem. A new approach is presented by expansion of the palatal mucosa by custom-made implants, allowing closure in two layers without tension or extensive undermining.

Myth and evidence in palatal expansion
Seminars in Orthodontics, 2023Untruths and distortion of scientific findings inhabit the medical and dental fields, not intentionally but often because of the lack of firm evidence. The aim in this paper is to visit a common orthodontic treatment modality, palatal expansion, and explore whether the accumulated biologic and mechanical findings are sufficient or misinterpreted for ...

Intraoperative Expansion of the Palate by the Tumescent Technique
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 1997Intraoperative rapid expansion of soft tissue of the palate is reported. Tissue is recruited by repeated injections of an isotonic solution in a tumescent-like technique, thus producing increasing swelling of the palatal soft tissue. Straight direct closure of palatal clefts and fistulas is achieved with minimal scarring at the midline, no secondary ...

Sequential palatal expansion and premaxillary retrusion for cleft palate infants
The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1979This article has described a technique to achieve maxillary orthopedics for the infant with a bilateral cleft lip, protruded premaxilla, and intact palate. Both maxillary expansion and retraction of the premaxilla can be accomplished with the same prosthesis.

Rapid Expansion of the Palate With a New Surgical Technique
Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, 2010After briefly reviewing the literature concerning palatal expansion, a new technique combining surgical and medical orthodontic treatment is described. The technique, which entails detaching the nasal septum, is particularly appropriate in oral-breathing patients. Sixty-one patients (aged 10-32 years) were included in the study.

Customized palatal guide and splint for maxillary expansion
International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2023Customization in orthognathic surgery allows better precision and a reduced surgical time. In Le Fort I osteotomy surgery, the maxillary segmentation is considered one of the most unstable procedures due to transverse instability. Various different types of palatal device have been proposed to address this instability.

Palatal expansion in adults: The surgical approach
American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2011A The discerning orthodontist has a treatment regimen that preferentially deals with arch deficiencies and might not necessitate extractions. Orthodontic expansion has been shown to be predictably unstable, and interproximal reduction is effective only up to a point, and so most of us use skeletal expansion in some form or another.
